regarding the use of the
Fire Chief's car. A request
from the Fire Dept. about a pos-sible
broken water main and re-placement
of it. A communica-tion
from Siperintendent of Pub-lic
Works Floyd Wilcox with
his recommendations on it helped
solve the problem. A request
from the Lynbrook Police Dept.
made in their behalf by the Pres-ident
of the Patrolmen's Benevo-lent
Assoc., George Behr, to
change the Policemen's payroll
to 52 times a year or weekly
was discussed and examined by
Deputy Mayor Arndt, Trustee
Bill Buzzeo, and Trustee George
Xydias. Village Clerk Ernest
Hansen explained that it could be
done but that it would take time
because of the present
machines for billing which must
be changed for each policeman
in the D ^ t . and the machine re-programmed.
He estimated that
this change might take about 90
days. This item was tabled in a
motion made by Trustee Xydias

ton. Dolomite stone is used for
repairing the village roads where
needed. Mr. John Larson, the
Recreation Commissioner or
head of the Lynbrook Recreation
Commission explained about the
Senior Citizens Program in ef-fect
now in Lynbrook. The mat-ter
of turning the Recreation
program over to the County had
been carefully examined and the
Recreation Committee felt that it
had better stay with the program
in Lynbrook as there was no ad-vantage
in switching the program
over to Nassau County.

McGinity Unseated
In Surprise Move
By Roberta Grover
In a surprise move Judge Liff
ruled that the Election Law clear-ly
states that those candidates
running for office in a particular
subdivision must NOT be chosen
by anyone other than the commit-teemen,
etc. from that area.
It was also the Judge's observa-tion
that geography plays a very
Important part in selection.
Because of the latest devel-opments,
the Plaintiffs, Tom
Brennan of Rockville Centre will
replace Mr. Hampton on the Re-publican
line and Raymond An-derson
will r ^ l a c e Mr. McGin-ity
on tile Conservative Line.
At this writing an appeal has
been filed by attorney for the
defendants, John Cleary (former
campaign manager for Ralph Ed-sel)
in the Appellate Division
in Brooklyn on Tuesday which
unanimously upheld Judge Liff's
original decision, to be followed
by an appeal to the New York
State Court of Appeals on the
13th of June, in Albany.
The most interesting aspect
of this whole unique action is
that if this decision is upheld
in all courts, will the Executive
Committee of the Conservative
Party still back Mr. Cahn with
NOTHING to trade? Or can they
at this late date get him off
Line "C?". Or wUl they finaUy
throw their full supports to
Noel Crowley? Another question
